General Trading Approach
E MICRO is an actively managed, discretionary strategy. CRESCOZ may use a broad market-analysis process that includes macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical developments, fundamental analysis, market structure, technical behaviour, and AI-assisted tools. However, the final decision to enter, manage, partially close, or close a trade is made by the strategy manager.
Trading Availability
E MICRO is eligible to trade on most regular u.s. market trading days. A strategy may not necessarily place a trade every eligible day. Trading decisions depend on market conditions, available opportunities, liquidity, risk considerations and the strategy manager's readiness.
E MICRO is a strictly intraday strategy. All positions are intended to be closed within the same trading session, and no overnight positions are retained. Trading will not take place when the relevant U.S. markets are closed, including applicable U.S. market holidays.
Scaling Reference
Scaling determines how much of the model strategy exposure is followed in the subscriber's account. For E MICRO, the scaling reference is Minimum scaling starts at 20%. Higher scaling can increase exposure, margin usage, risk, and potential losses. Scaling is subject to Collective2 settings, broker permissions, account size, buying power, liquidity, and subscriber risk comfort.
At 100% scaling, subscriber results may broadly resemble the model strategy's intended exposure, but exact results can still differ because of broker execution, slippage, platform timing, account size, margin availability, liquidity, rejected orders, partial fills, and market conditions.
Monthly Subscription Price
The monthly subscription for E MICRO is $2,000 per month, charged through Collective2 on a recurring monthly billing cycle. The billing cycle generally renews on the same calendar day of the following month based on the subscription start date. Visitors should confirm the exact subscription terms and billing details directly on Collective2 before subscribing.
Additional trading-related costs may include brokerage commissions, exchange or regulatory fees, platform fees if applicable, market data fees if applicable, slippage, and wider spreads during fast-moving or lower-liquidity conditions. These costs may appear small on a per-trade basis, but they can add up over time depending on trade frequency, contract or share quantity, broker pricing, and scaling level.
Risk Considerations
Trading MNQ and MES micro futures involves substantial risk and may result in significant losses, including losses exceeding the initial investment. E MICRO uses leveraged instruments that can move rapidly in both directions.
Futures Leverage
Micro futures are leveraged instruments. A small margin deposit controls a larger notional value, meaning both gains and losses are magnified relative to the margin posted.
Margin Risk
Brokers may increase margin requirements during volatility, economic announcements, exchange changes, or internal risk-policy changes. Reduced intraday margin may not remain available near the session close.
Rapid Market Movement
Futures markets can move sharply in response to economic data, geopolitical events, or sudden liquidity shifts. Adverse moves can result in significant losses quickly.
Slippage and Execution
Broker execution, slippage, rejected orders, partial fills, and platform timing can cause subscriber results to differ from the model strategy.
Session-Close Risk
All positions are intended to be closed within the same trading session. Carrying positions through the close may involve higher margin requirements and different risk.
Multi-Account Caution
Subscribers using multiple brokerage accounts should check with their broker and Collective2 setup to understand how simultaneous long and short exposure in the same instrument may be handled.
